Power Standards: Identifying the Standards that Matter the Most

by Larry Ainsworth
Publisher: Advanced Learning Press

Power Standards presents a proven process for identifying the standards that matter the most, a process that can be used successfully with every state's standards in every content area and at every grade level. The book is designed to be a step-by-step, practical manual that educators can use immediately in their own districts to replicate the process others have successfully followed.

Power Standards is a step-by-step, practical manual that explains how educators can distinguish the Power Standards—standards that are absolutely essential for student success—from those that are "nice to know."

In all 50 states, standards have become the critical focus for achieving the results that schools are expected to produce. However, educators know that most states have too many standards to be taught effectively during one academic year. Striving to cover everything, educators admit to teaching many of the standards only superficially. In addition, educators often consider all standards equal when, in fact, certain standards are more important than others.

Larry Ainsworth shows all educators not only how to create a prioritized subset of their own state or district standards, but also how to use these Power Standards to guide the development of meaningful curriculum and assessment. The straightforward and easy-to-read format enables readers to immediately apply these proven, practical strategies.
